About

Join us (if you dare) for our fun-filled Halloween Half Term event! Each two-hour session includes spooky storytelling and chilling crafts with local story smith Sarah Snell-Pym, and a fiendish quiz trail around our 500-year-old building. Drink and sweet snack included.

Join our storytelling session where you can hear how Hetty Peglar came to live in her Tump and all about her dancing skeletons! Find out why the Ogre is not very happy and share your own spooky tales. Make your own pumpkin pals, masquerade mask and curious creatures in our craft workshop and explore our creaky historic building with the self-guided quiz trail.

The event is suitable for all ages and skill levels. Tickets are £8 per child (adults free).

Morning session: 10am - 12pm, afternoon session: 2 - 4pm
